“But we are not one star. We are millions. Not one background, but millions.

To the untrained eye, the night sky is a scattering of stars, a chaos of light and dark across the universe.

And yet, the stars are not lost.
They form patterns. Constellations. If you know how to look, there are stories woven into the very essense of stars.

Be like a star. Shine your light. Shine your story. For stories will lead us home.

-Maryam”
Victoria Jamieson, When Stars Are Scattered

“Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.”
Robert B. Reich, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It

Robert B. Reich
“Trump is the best thing ever to have happened to the new American oligarchy. In addition to his tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks, he stokes divisiveness in ways that keeps the bottom 90 percent from seeing how the oligarchy has taken over the reins of government, twisted government to its benefit, and siphoned off the economy’s benefits. His deal with the oligarchy has been simple: He’ll stoke division and tribalism so most Americans won’t see CEOs getting exorbitant pay while they’re slicing the pay of average workers, won’t pay attention to the giant tax cut that went to big corporations and the wealthy, and won’t notice a boardroom culture that tolerates financial conflicts of interest, insider trading, and the outright bribery of public officials through unlimited campaign donations.”
Robert B. Reich, The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It

“Situations like this only reinforce my deep suspicion of developers: They’re often carelessly breaking things and then disappearing, leaving Operations to clean up the mess.”
Gene Kim, The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

“Now imagine yourself as one of those stars. Your light is bright and shines for millions of miles. Now open your eyes, and open them wide. Look at your friends sitting all around you. Throughout your life, people may shout ugly words at you. Words like, "Go home, refugee!" or "You have no right to be here!" When you meet these people, tell them to look at the stars, and how they move across the sky. No one tells a star to go home. Tell them, "I am a star. I deserve to exist just the same as a star. How do I know? Because here I am. I am here. The proof is in the stars.”
Omar Mohamed; Victoria Jamieson, When Stars Are Scattered
